I’ve got a passion for coffe and another for Canada. When the two of them are together then there’s nothing better! That’s why today’s post gathers three cafes that I used to go while I was doing my exchange in Montreal.

When we talk about Canada and cafes we have to mention TimHortons.In my opinion, the coffee itself isn’t that good – I used to drink the Mocca, which is made with chocolate and cream so that the taste of the coffee wouldn’t appear much. But the food… Do you know all those delicious american goodies like muffins, cookies and donuts? Tim has! And there are also the Timbits, tasty sweet balls made from donuts. Hmm.. mouthwatering. Besides the good price, you can find a Tim Hortons cafe everywhere in the city – and in Canada. Are you hungry? Go there!

I really love donuts!

SecondCup is a Starbucks-like cafe – there’s also lots of Starbucks in Montreal, but as we already know it in Brazil, I won’t talk about it. Second Cup has a cozy atmosphere and a big variety of products: coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pies, muffins, croissants and much more. Coffee itself is delicious, as they work with premium coffee beans. I liked to drink the Capuccino, and the hot chocolate is also really good.

As the best is always left for the end, there isn’t a cafe better than CafeOlimpico, an italian shop in Mile End neighbourhood. To give you an idea of how good it is – and how much I like the place – I used to take a 30 min bus trip just to get there and have a latte with my friends and study. In Montreal people usually go to cafes to study and stay there all day – and so did I. Olimpico has a good variety of coffee, and some tasty food. I liked to eat the marble cake, it’s really good and it reminded me of home! The service is excellent and the place is cool, decorated with italian football theme. If you go to Montreal, visit this cafe for me! It’s in 124 St-Viateur West, Mile End.
